METHOD FOR CONTROLLING BATTERY BANKS AND BATTERY SYSTEM USING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18271920 titled 'METHOD FOR CONTROLLING BATTERY BANKS AND BATTERY SYSTEM USING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for controlling battery banks by measuring bank voltages, determining contact resistances, calculating compensation bank voltages, and controlling the battery banks based on the voltages.

  • Measuring bank voltages of the battery banks
  • Determining first contact resistance of internal resistance components for each bank
  • Determining second contact resistance of external resistance components for each bank
  • Calculating contact resistance for each bank based on the first and second resistances
  • Determining compensation bank voltages by subtracting voltage drop due to contact resistances
  • Controlling the battery banks based on bank voltages and compensation bank voltages

Original Abstract Submitted

A method for controlling battery banks may include measuring bank voltages of the battery banks, determining a first contact resistance of one or more internal resistance components for each of the battery banks, determining a second contact resistance of one or more external resistance components for each of the battery banks, determining a contact resistance for each of the battery banks based on the first contact resistance and the second contact resistance, determining each of compensation bank voltages by subtracting a voltage drop due to a corresponding one of the contact resistances from a respective one of the bank voltages, and controlling the battery banks based on at least one of the bank voltages and the compensation bank voltages. The method may be performed by a battery control system. A battery system using the method is also provided.
